Definitions

  • the present invention relates to extrafine-strand-adaptable pressure contact blades which can be contacted by a wire including a core composed of extrafine strands.
  • Fig. 8 is a graphical representation of the relationship of the slot width with respect to the contact resistance and contact load between the pressure contact blades and the core of a wire.
  • a graph A shows the relationship between the slot width and contact loads
  • a graph B shows the relationship between the slot width and contact resistance.
  • the relationships shown by the graphs A and B are based on test results obtained by conducting a pressure contact test repeatedly in which a wire is pressure contacted with the slot of the pressure contact blades, contact resistance and contact load between the core and pressure contact blades are measured, and the strands of a wire to be tested is checked for cutting.
  • the graph B shows that the contact resistance can provide a stable value in the vicinity of the minimum value when the slot width is within a given area.
  • the upper limit of the settable range C of the slot width can be given in the following manner: in case where the slot width increases and thus the contact load decreases, at a certain value of the slot width, the contact resistance is thereby allowed to rise from a value in the vicinity of the minimum value thereof; that is, the upper limit can be given by such certain value of the slot width.
  • the lower limit of the settable range C of the slot width can be given in the following manner: in case where the slot width decreases down to such a value where one or more of the strands of the core is (or are) cut (cutting of strand), the contact load is thereby decreased, which in turn allows the contact resistance to rise from a value in the vicinity of the minimum value thereof; that is, the lower limit can be given by such value of the slot width.
  • the upper limit of the settable range C in case where the core size decreases, the area (contact area) of the core where the core receives the contact load from the pressure contact blades also decreases and thus the contact load to be received by the core decreases, with the result that the upper limit of the settable range C is reduced accordingly.
  • the section size of strands (strand size) forming the core decreases accordingly, with the result that the cutting of the strands is easy to occur and the contact load is kept from increasing: that is, the lower limit of the settable range C increases as the core size decreases.
  • the tolerance range E becomes larger than the settable range C and thus there is a fear that, when products are actually manufactured, some of them can have the slot width out of the settable range C.
  • Fig. 11 is a perspective view of a pressure contact blade of an ordinary pressure contact terminal according to the related art.
  • Right and left pressure contact blades 5 shown in Fig. 11 are formed integral with the pressure contact terminal in such a manner that they are formed by a pulling/raising operation so as to project inwardly from the right and left sidewalls 9 of the pressure contact terminal; and, the mutually opposed, vertically extending inner side end faces 5a of the two pressure contact blades 5 cooperate together in defining a slot 3.
  • the settable range C of the slot width obtained by a pressure contact test similar to the previously-described graphs A, B shown in Fig. 8 is given as 0.05 mm.
  • a manufacturing tolerance D is 0.03 and a tolerance range E is 0.06 mm; that is, the tolerance range E is larger than the settable range C, which provides a poor yield rate and makes it substantially difficult to manufacture the pressure contact blade.
  • the present invention aims at eliminating the drawbacks found in the above-mentioned conventional pressure contact blade. Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide extrafine-strand-adaptable pressure contact blades which can set a slot width settable range to be determined by a pressure contact test larger than a tolerance range given by a manufacturing tolerance and can be manufactured easily.
  • the contact area may be set equal to or larger than 0.15 mm 2.
  • Fig. 1 is a graphical representation of the varying states of the settable range of a slot width when the whole contact area of contact pressure blades with respect to a core of a wire is varied in two stages.
  • Two sets of graphs A4, A5, B4, B5 and settable ranges C4, C5 shown in Fig. 1 correspond to the previously-described graphs A, B and settable range C shown in Fig. 8 when the whole contact area of the contact pressure blades with respect to a core of a wire is varied in two stages.
  • the whole contact area of the contact pressure blades with respect to the core is set smaller in the set comprising the graphs A5, B5 and settable range C5. This shows that the settable range C increases as the whole contact area of the contact pressure blades with respect to the core increases.
  • the present inventors have paid attention to the whole contact area of the contact pressure blades with respect to the core in the settable range C and have found that, by increasing the whole contact area of the contact pressure blades with respect to the core, the settable range C of the slot width shown in the above-mentioned figure 10 can be made larger than the tolerance range E.
  • the present inventors have conducted repeatedly a similar pressure contact test to that shown in Fig. 1 while varying the contact area, and have found that, in order to make the settable range C larger than the tolerance range E, the whole contact area must be equal to or larger than 0.15 mm 2 .
  • the plate thickness T of the pressure contact blade 5 must be increased.
  • the increased plate thickness T results in the increased plate thickness of the whole of the pressure contact terminal, which causes an obstacle to the formation of a spring piece in the male and female fitting portion of the pressure contact terminal. Therefore, in the case of the conventional pressure contact blade 5, it is difficult to increase its contact area with respect to the core.
  • the inventors have developed pressure contact blades by blanking; that is, the inventors have realized extrafine-strand-adaptable pressure contact blades which, without increasing the plate thickness of a pressure contact terminal, can increase their whole contact area with respect to a core of a wire.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a pressure contact terminal to which there are applied extrafine-strand-adaptable pressure contact blades according to a first embodiment of the invention
  • Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of a pressure contact blade to be formed in the pressure contact terminal shown in Fig. 2
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view of a portion of the pressure contact terminal shown in Fig. 2 where the pressure contact blades are formed.
  • the pressure contact terminal as shown in Fig. 2, comprises a connecting part 21 to be contactable with another connecting member (such as connecting terminal), a pressure contact part 25 in which two sets of paired right and left pressure contact blades 23 are formed, and a hold part 27 for holding a wire (not shown) which is pressure contacted with the present pressure contact terminal; and, the pressure contact terminal is formed by blanking and bending a sheet of metal plate. And, the pressure contact terminal is composed of seven or more strands (extrafine strands) bundled together (or twisted together) and is adapted such that a wire including a core having a section size of 0.20 mm 2 or less can be pressure contacted with the pressure contact terminal.
  • the connecting part 21 is disposed on the leading end side of the pressure contact terminal, the hold part 27 is disposed on the trailing end side of the pressure contact terminal, and the pressure contact portion 25 is interposed between the connecting part 21 and hold part 27.
  • the connecting part 21 there is disposed a connecting tongue piece and, on the hold part 27, there are disposed two sets of paired right and left hold pieces 29 for holding a wire which is pressure contacted with the pressure contact terminal.
  • the pressure contact part 25 there are disposed two sets of paired right and left pressure contact blades 23.
  • each of the pressure contact blades 23 is formed in such a manner that its horizontal section, which is obtained when it is cut along the longitudinal direction of a wire to be pressure contacted, has a substantially-V-like shape with its leading end portion slightlyrounded. Also, the upper end face 23b of each pressure contact blade 23 is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the inside of the pressure contact part 25, whereby, when the wire is pressure inserted into the slot 33, the wire can be guided smoothly into the slot 33 through the upper end face 23b.
  • the skin of the wire is slashed with the edge portions 23c of the pressure contact blades 23 existing inwardly of the upper end faces 23b to thereby expose the core of the wire, and the exposed core is pressure contacted and connected with the right and left pressure contact blades 23 in the respective sets.
  • the pressure contact blade 23 is formed by blanking, there is eliminated a possibility that, as in the previously described conventional pressure contact blade 5, the plate thickness of the pressure contact terminal can increase. This makes it possible to increase easily the areas (contact areas) of the contact regions (portions shown by hatches in Fig. 3) 34 of the slot forming portions 23a of the right and left pressure contact blades 23 in the respective sets that can be contacted with the core of the pressure contacted wire.
  • the whole contact area of the right and left contact regions 34 (the sum total of the contact areas) is set at such a value (here, 0.15 mm 2 or more) that the previously described settable range C of the slot width W is larger than the tolerance range E of the present pressure contact blade 23.
  • a graph G1 shown in Fig . 5 represents the relationship between the core section size and the whole contact area of the right and left pressure contact blades according to the present embodiment; and, a graph G2 in Fig. 5 represents the relationship between the core section size and the whole contact area of the right and left pressure contact blades according to the previously described prior art shown in Fig. 11. Also, an auxiliary line L in Fig. 5 shows a line where the contact area is 0.15 mm 2 .
  • the whole contact area of the pressure contact blade 23 with respect to the core can be easily set at a value equal to or larger than 0.15 mm 2 which is necessary for the settable range C to be larger than the tolerance range E.
  • the whole contact area of the pressure contact blade 5 with respect to the core is less than the value of 0.15 mm 2 .
  • the whole contact area of the pressure contact blades 23 with respect to the core of the wire can be increased relatively easily.
  • the whole contact area can be set such that a slot width settable range C to be determined by a pressure contact test is greater than a tolerance range E caused due to a manufacturing tolerance, which makes it possible to provide pressure contact blades easy to manufacture and adaptable to extrafine strands.
  • the slot width settable range C can be positively set such that it is larger than the tolerance range E.
  • each pressure contact blade 23 is formed as a substantially V-like shape.
  • this is not limitative but, for example, it may be formed as such a substantially arc-like shape as shown in Fig. 6 (here, a semicircular-like shape), or it may be formed as such a substantially trapezoid-like shape as shown in Fig. 7 (here, a rectangle-like shape).
